CHAPTER 15. RECORDING NEW CLIPS 199
The Track In/Out Section
in the Arrangement
(Left) and Session View
(Right).
Audio tracks default to recording a stereo signal from the external input pair 1/2. MIDI
tracks default to recording all MIDI that is coming in through the active external input
devices. The computer keyboard is, by default, activated as a pseudo-MIDI input device,
allowing you to record MIDI even if no MIDI controller hardware is currently available.
For every track, you can choose an input source other than the default: any mono or stereo
external input, a specic MIDI channel from a specic MIDI-in device, audio from ReWire
slave programs or a signal coming from another track. The Routing chapter describes these
options in detail.
15.2 Ar ming (Record-Enabling) Tracks
Track Arm Buttons in the
Arrangement (Left) and
Session (Right) Mixers.
To select a track for recording, click on its Arm button. It doesn't matter if you click a track's
Arm button in the Session View or in the Arrangement View, since the two share the same
set of tracks.
By default, armed tracks are monitored, meaning that their input is passed through their
device chain and to the output, so that you can listen to what is being recorded. This
behavior is called auto-monitoring and you can change it to t your needs.
